Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm a photographer, hiker, biker, and IT guy. I've been a scout master and am teaching the photography merit badge to a local scout troop. My classes will be a mixture of photography, history, and Star Wars, with possibly some other stuff mixed in every now and then. My parents were teachers for more than 30 years and my girlfriend is a teacher, so I've spent my life immersed in what teachers do.
